Observe:
1. Describe what you see.
I see a Coca-Cola shack on the side of a road.
2. What do you notice first?
I notice the run down appearance of the shack.
7. What other details can you see?
The other details I can see are the advertisements on the shack, which means it was probably a store during the Great Depression. Reflect:
7. What is missing from this picture?
I think what is missing from this picture is there is no people. I would think there would be some people since this looks like some sort of store with the ads on it, but since this was taken around the Great Depression people probably had no money to buy anything.
8. If someone made this today, what would be different?
The difference would be this store would be a lot bigger and not a shack; it would be like a Stop and Shop. There would also be more people since we are not in as bad of depression as we were then.
9. What would be the same?
The similarities would be the ads around it, like today a gas station has ads posted in the windows for products.
